We were doing an ACB readiness inspection at Camp Hansen Okinawa in the late 80's. The STA Platoon Bubbas had their ghillies, stalking boots etc. all laid out and their bolt guns were in hard cases.
Some Cpl. who was an attachment, not really sure if he was Engineer, Arty or what asked one the STA Bubbas " Hey whatta you guys have in the cases?"
Sniper says. " Thats my trombone. I'm in the Marine Corps band."
Attachment says "Cool."

and walks off, Sniper justlaughs and shakes his head.
That's my favorite Sniper qoute.
